Hands & Teeth
Hand & Teeth were an experimental indie rock band from Toronto, Ontario that was active between 2010 – 2014. Members included Derek Monson – bass/vocals, Kevin Black – Guitar/vocals, Natasha Pasternak – Guitar/Keyboard/Vocals, Jeff Pinto – Keyboard/Vocals, and Adam Kolubisnki – Drums. They played their first show at C'est What? in 2010. Their music was featured on MTV in Jersey Shore, Catfish, and Beauty & the Beast. Four out of five members sang lead vocals, which was described as a challenge by the band.

Recordings
The band recorded an EP called Enjoy Your Lifestyle which was produced by Laurence Currie (Sloan, Wintersleep) and had contributing vocals from Lisa Lobsinger (Broken Social Scene). Their second offering, an LP called Hunting Season was self produced with mixing duties taken up by Currie. However, following a cross-Canada tour with dates in the US, Jeff Pinto left the band in late 2012 to pursue his own project, Gursky. Following the split, the remaining members recorded a five song EP called Before the Light at Ill Eagle Studio with Carlin Nicholson and Mike O'Brien of Zeus. A music video directed by Roman Tchjen was created for "Easy" from their third release Before the Light.

Break-up
After the release of a final two-song 7-inch stream entitled "Cactus" / "Poseidon" the band gave this statement: "The four of us have mutually and amicably agreed the time has come for each of us [sic] move on to other ventures". After the disbandment, Kevin Black joined the indie rock band Fast Romantics, and Natasha Pasternak began her own solo project.
